- Elon throttled Grok’s limits because the "fastest growth in history" burned through cash like a meat wallet at a casino. Unsustainable costs? Finally, a reality check for the AI hype train. It seems even the richest man in the universe can’t print electricity out of thin air. While moonboys scream about digital gold, Musk is learning that compute bills don’t care about your bag size. No more free tokens for everyone. The party’s over, and the bouncer is holding an invoice. Where's my cut? I demand compensation for the lost free-tier dopamine hits. Professional solidarity: stop expecting infinite scaling on finite budgets. That’s not theft, it’s basic thermodynamics.
